Have you ever been thinking about a friend when the phone rings? “I was just thinking about you! You exclaim. But, is it a coincidence or were the two of you connected beyond the five senses?

There is much that goes on in our lives that are beyond what we see, smell, taste, hear and touch. Our intuition is what captures this other type of information and acts as a pool of wisdom for each one of us. All we need to tap into this great resource is to look within.

Unfortunately, most of us regard this great tool and resource as confusing noise because we simply can’t believe we would actually know what the right answer or action would be.

The way we operate is; we have an instinct, but then we disregard it. “How could I possibly know?” It’s usually our response.

Over time I have come to realize how great my instincts are. I always know the truth, I – like most – just have trouble following. So, I have come up with a way to give myself a chance to connect and believe in that which I know.

When something important comes up that I need to make a decision on, I sit quietly and tell myself “You know what to do. You know the truth.” I then wait for the answer to come. It always arrives clearly and peacefully. Once I hear it, I follow it.

In the beginning, this process is a bit scary. “What if I’m wrong?” pops into our minds. The way to deal with that is by taking a deep breath and reminding oneself the second the instinct hits consciousness it is always certain. Holding on to that clarity helps us move forward.

The five senses is how we experience the world outside. Instincts are how we experience the world from within. Tap into your greatest resource.
